Sicky I'm probably thinking 11th Sept is a better choice for me too, don't think I'm giving myself enough time to see if i can improve any areas of PILAPT if i go for August. I've tried looking for similar progs on the net but with limited success. Now I have read alot on here that people don't think you can do much to practice for the PILAPT tests as either you have it or you dont!! But on reflection from the first time i did them, I think that you can at least try multi tasking programs which must do something to improve those needed skills and especially flight sims to practice keeping cross hairs in the centre of the screen. Just like with anything practice makes perfect.... But then again are CTC looking for practice and dedication or just natural skill?
